Barney Tabasco Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hope this brings in the pennies to sign Pienaar!! Season ticket holders now have an official way of selling tickets to matches that we can't attend: http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2012/07/23/blues-sign-with-stubhub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn174 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Interesting. Isn't it against FA, UEFA and FIFA rules to resell footy tickets though? I always thought it was, but maybe that has changed. Although anyone who is able to sell a ticket for Everton vs Southampton (for example) at a profit deserves the extra money they make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Tabasco Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Interesting. Isn't it against FA, UEFA and FIFA rules to resell footy tickets though? I always thought it was, but maybe that has changed. Although anyone who is able to sell a ticket for Everton vs Southampton (for example) at a profit deserves the extra money they make You're right, but I'm pretty sure this is only if you make a profit. Tickets can only be sold on at face-value. I guess for selling on a ticket from a season ticket, then the club and StubHub will set a value it can be sold for. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a surge in demand for the service when we play them though!! I wonder how much demand will go up when the game is live on TV??

FairWooney Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 stubhub allows season ticket holders to sell tickets for whatever price they like How much can I list my Season Ticket seat for? Season Ticket holders can set the price for their seat for any home fixtures that they cannot attend. The price will largely be determined by demand for the fixture but it is ultimately the decision of the Season Ticket holder The new deal is groundbreaking as there are no restrictions on prices and Everton supporters can purchase as many tickets as they wish for an individual fixture. Basically it's secure legalised reselling. I don't see any issue with it, as most games don't sell out it's not like it would encourage people to tout their tickets apart from for big matches but then most people who are season ticket holders would want to be at those matches unless they really needed to make the money from them. What it means really is Everton make more money and we get more bums on seats rather than empty seats at games which is only a good thing.

Louis Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Similar to the service at Wimbledon I imagine, if you can't attend you return the ticket (I imagine stubhub will buy it) and then sell it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire Blue Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Probability is the seats are not 'restricted view' if they're season tickets. The seller decides the price and StubHub take 25% - if they sell. Not a bad idea we have 4 STs and we can't all make every game due to work etc. We could be naughty and talk to the person in the seat we sell with a view to further sales and avoiding the 25%!!!!

pete0 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just had a look on there for the Newcastle game http://www.stubhub.co.uk/everton-tickets/everton-liverpool-goodison-park-17-9-2012-4111122/ most tickets are less than or equal to face value. Pay through paypal, pretty quick no messing about making the order and a few good seats on there. I had tried the OS the other week, but I need to phone them up as I've forgotten my account number. It's a joke that they don't just email you it, it's only 2012 ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: NEVER MIND, i was just looking at the liverpool game tickets and it's just people ripping others off.

Avinalaff Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 "A safe and legal way to compensate season ticket holders" my ass. A safe way might be to refund the ticket holder and resell the seat for that match if given an agreed period of notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, most tickets on the site have been listed at face value or below. While, we understand that some fans might be frustrated to find prices higher than they hoped, it is the season ticket holder’s prerogative to list their seats at whatever price they choose. Ultimately though, it is up to the potential purchaser to determine if they are prepared to pay it. I think about the fan who can't get to a game and can at least get a much needed £20-30 back for his unused ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - it's the same principle at work. In this case, someone took a risk spending a lot of money on season tickets. Some weeks, when they can't attend matches, they can't recoup what they spent. Other weeks, when there's a derby for example, they can make more money. Why not? They invested a significant sum: Why shouldn't they reap some reward? No one's forcing others to pay the higher price. They do so willingly. Sibdane and Lowensda 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's closer to; Someone offers you a lift to the shops, as they were going anyway, you get in and accept, only for them to charge you through the nose for the petrol, inconvenience and wear'n'tear on their car. If someone can't go the game, usually, they'd get sweet FA. So to charge nearly 10 x the face value, when they might not be able to go anyway is a pisstake. When I had my ST's and I couldn't go the games, I'd either give it to my mates or if someone offered some money for it, I'd only say £10?

Romey 1878 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 If you try to sell your ticket outside of StubHub it's illegal (eg touts), so I don't see how any one can defend this just because it's been dressed up a bit.

Sibdane Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why? It's the free market at work. If demand exceeds supply, then prices will rise. So be it. Spoken like an economist. I like it. The price does make me sick, but ultimately it comes down to if there is a buyer who is wiling to pay so much for a particular ticket.

Cornish Steve Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 there are so many things wrong with this.... Like what? Unless you seek to live in a planned economy, where prices are fixed by some higher authority, it's the way the world works. Long live capitalism! Everton as a team could learn from this. Maybe they should be charging higher prices, which would allow them to invest more in players. Maybe they should give more urgency to having a new stadium, so they can generate more revenue from the additional seating. Maybe, if they have the entrepreneurial spirit of these season ticket holders, they wouldn't have signed such junk advertising deals.
